USB/IP Project aims to develop a general USB device sharing system over IP network. To share USB devices between computers with their full functionality, USB/IP encapsulates "USB I/O messages" into TCP/IP payloads and transmits them between computers.

A remote USB webcam with an ov511 chip is virtually attached to a computer. We can see ov511 under USB VHCI Root Hub.

I can redirect usb devices from one machine to another without the host machine requiring a driver.

The 'discontinued' flag is a bit of a misnomer as development was moved to Linux kernel mainline

Unfortunately, USB/IP not works on Ubuntu Precise currently, because can not find its kernel modules. (it was renamed)

From the website: You need a Linux machine for the server side

I guess it's only works for windows if the USB device is connected to a Linux machine
